Tach connection problem
Hi, this may have been listed before, but I could not find an answer to my next problem.
I replaced the speedometer for a combo with tach. As soon as I hook up all 3 leads it kils my ignition.
The wiring is straight forward Plus, Ground and Signal. The wiring colors on my tach do not match up with the manuals of relevant bikes.
My tach conections are Red, Grey and Black/green.
If I hook up Red to + and Grey to the ignition coil than the tach works but is very nervous and shows more than double the rpm's
As soon as I hook up the Black/Green wire to ground my coil shorts out and stops firing.
Just for testing I switched wires, but no results.
If anybody can help me on this one would be great !

Re: Tach connection problem
You have the connections correct: red is power, black/green is ground, grey is the signal. Do you have the grey wire connected to the negative side of the ignition coil (either green/brown or grey, not red which is the posiive side)? The is the side that is grounded by the ignition control unit. If so then I would say that the tach might be defective. Is the tach from a caburated bike? A tach from an fuel-injected bike will not work on a carburated bike, but I wouldn't expect it to kill the spark.

Where does the combo come from?

Re: Tach connection problem
Thx f pics! You should publish them here, very cool carb combo & helluva job! [thumbsup]
If tach came from -00 M900 it`s from a injection bike
& doesn`t work on 750 carb.

Are you sure the grey is the signal and the black/green is the ground ? I ask because the grey wire in the multi pin connctor to the cluster goes to the side stand switch which switches to ground. Should I connect the grey wire and black/green wire directly and not go through the multi pin connector ?
